When people think of <i>Star Wars</i>,
the first thing that comes to mind is the popular
series of movies that inspired a generation of kids, adults, and movie-makers
around
the world.  The influence of Star Wars on motion pictures is well-known.
What is less well-known is that Star Wars grossed more money from
merchandising than from box office receipts, which is a remarkable achievement
considering that the Star Wars trilogy broke box office records at the
time of release.  Just about any piece of Star Wars
merchandise can be considered a collectible, and that's why we're here.
This archive is a virtual museum of some of the finest private collections of
Star Wars memorabilia in the world.
